Reel Livin Guide Service

Located in Texas and specializing in Striper fishing, Reel Livin Guide Service is the Premier Lake Texoma Fishing Guide Service. We strive to provide each customer with a positive and memorable fishing experience. We provide both half day and full day fishing charters during any time of year.

Reel Livin Guide Service is owned and operated by Kevin Cates. He has been fishing LakeTexoma for over 15 years. Kevin lives an hour from Lake Texoma, and spends all of his free time learning Striper fishing techniques at both Lake Texoma, and other great Striper fisheries throughout the country.

Since 2000, Kevin Cates has devoted his free time to perfecting the skills and techniques needed to consistently catch Freshwater Stripers. He has provided his family, friends, and clients with countless successful fishing trips over the years.

Kevin is very knowledgeable and is always glad to share information and answer any fishing questions you may have. Reel Livin Guide Service is a family owned and operated business. Kevin's son Kyle is aboard most guided trips, operating as the deck hand to ensure all customer's are promptly taken care of during their fishing voyage.

At Reel Livin Guide Service, we primarily target Striped Bass while on your trip, although we do sometimes catch White Bass, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and Catfish while Striper Fishing. If one of these other species are biting well while on your trip and you want to catch them instead, just let your guide know and we will be glad to accommodate. (We love to catch big stripers, but we also know that some folks just like to catch fish; any kind of fish, as long as they are biting well.)

Our primary goal is for you to have a fun and successful fishing trip, and to come back again. We value your repeat business and your word of mouth advertising.
